Drowned at Halifax.

HALIFAX. n. s., May 2l.-Clara
Louise Kellogg the prima donna, met
with an accident yesterday while driving
about the city with Strakosch, her man

Miss Kellogg alighted from her carriage
and went down to the waters edge to
gather sea plants. She was standing
on rock, when her foot slipped and
she fell into the water. She was struck
by an cimmenSe wave and carried out
some distance. StrakoSch rushed to her
rescue and succeeded in getting the
singer ashore. Miss Kellogg is suffering
from the shock, and was unable to sing
at the special matinee announced for to-
day.

The Tentritoqitisrs Dog.

We are often told that an intelligent
dog can almost talk. Here is story Of
one who actually did talk, Or at any rate
seemed to DO SO:
A solemn man recently entered res
taurant, followed by his dog, seated him
self and called for bill of fare. 1t was
given him.
"What would you like to have, sir|
asked the waiter Tipping the table with
his napkin.
The dog, meanwhile, had climbed upon
chair on the other side of the table and
was gravely regarding his master.
"Well:" said the solemn man retiec-
lively, gimme some oxtail soup"
"Gimme the same" said the dog.
The walters face assumed the color Of
cold boiled veal.
"Cup o coffee and plenty Of milk
went ON the solemn man.
"Gimme the same" said the dog.
The waiter shuddered and fled for the
kitchen.
A man with squint at an adjoining
table. was much interested in the scene.
He had observed it closely, and finally
spoke to the solemn man.
"It must be a fearful lot o work to
teach that dog to talk, mister"
"It was" said the solemn man.
81 should think "a" said the dog.
"What 'ud you take for him now ?"
said the man with a squint.
wouldn't sell him." said the solemn
man.
you'd better not, F." said the dog.
The man with a squint was much i'm
pressed. He began making wild ohers,
and when he reached two hundred dol
lars the solemn man relented.
"Well," said he, 81 can't refuse that.
| hate 10 part with hlm, Dut you can
have him."
Hell be sorry for it, said the dog.
The man with the squint drew check
for the amount, which he gave to the
solemn man. The man was about leav-
ing when the dog cried
Never mind, I'll get even. I'll new
er speak again"
He never did.
The gentleman with squint was pro
prietor Of a show
The solemn mar was a professional

Facts for Farmers.

Teach calves to feed from the pail, from
the first.
While fat in brood sows is a drawback,
a wellfed condition is an advantage.
Give ewes with lambs an abundance of
food for the good of both lamb and dam.
Look to the feet of horses those at work
on soft ground are better of in barefoot.
Curry comb and brush well applied are
the best medicines to aid horses and cattle
while they are shedding their coats.
Colorado the present year received cor.
siderable over a million dollars for its wool
clip, and half a million for its mutton.
Irregular feeding will DO more to cause
cows to dry off than any other method,
while the practice of it is extravagant, in
ducing waste and loss of time.
See to the harness, and have it so we'll
fitted that bruises and gals will not occur;
look especially to the collars and have
them fit the shoulders well and keep clean.
Cows about to come in should be watch
ed, and, as their time approaches, reduce
their food, to prevent garget and other
troubles, giving plenty of good, sound
hay.
A strip of sheepskin, with long wool,
tackled to the places where horse sets its
teeth and busted occasionally with cay
enne, will, it is said, have a restraining ef-
feet on the worst "cribber."
\ writer ia the Kansas Farmer gives a
simple remedy for tape worm in sheep.
Take squash OF pumpkin seeds, crush them
and boil them in sufficient water to make a
strong tea. Give each lamb two or three
teaspoonfuls in cup of water.
A wether that is fed in winter only e.
nough to keep it from shrinking, will be no
better in spring than in the preceding au-
tumn and all the food consumed will be
lost. The animal will be getting older all
the time and more incapable Of becoming
fat.
Sheep, of all stock on the farm, are prof
liable as manure makers in winter. Their
sheds and yards should be well strawed,
but they should have light platforms here
and there in them for the sheep to stand
upon and cool their feet. Old doors do
very well, frequently turned over.

If he should dare to squeeze my hand,
Or touch my little finger,
No blush or picket could withstand,
If he should dare to squeeze my hand,
The chances to warm my heart unnamed
BY blood that fain would linger,-
If he should dare TO kiss my hand,
Or touch my little finger
If he should ever come to WOO,
And should to wed beseech me,
What should happy maiden do,
If he should ever come to WOO
And breathe his vows with great ado ?
o darling Cupid teach me.
Ii he should ever come to WOO,
And should to wed beseech me.
